Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000814572 ABB: The ACS180 is a compact, robust, and adaptable variable speed drive (VSD) for applications such as pumps, fans, compressors, conveyors, winders and mixers.This easy-to-use compact VSD offers excellent performance and quality at superior value with all essential machinery application features embedded. And as a member of ABB=E2=80=99s all-compatible drives portfolio, it shares the same architecture and user interfaces for ease of use.
Compact, robust LV AC machinery drive module that fits in tight panel spaces while delivering reliable motor control. This design reduces installation time, wiring complexity, and field maintenance costs, enabling faster commissioning for pumps, fans, conveyors, winders, and mixers. ABB’s all-compatible drives portfolio architecture and familiar user interface simplify cross‑product programming and operator training, making multi‑machine automation more economical and less error-prone. The 11 kW, 48 A capability delivers precise torque control with smooth ramping, lowering mechanical stress and energy use in mid‑size motors found in HVAC and process lines. Embedded essential machinery features and built‑in protections minimize nuisance trips and unplanned downtime, while robust construction supports longer service life in demanding environments. In practice, this drives‑ecosystem compatibility reduces spare‑parts inventory and accelerates commissioning on OEM and end‑user projects.

FAQs
ACS180-04S-048A-2 installs like other ABB VSDs, with a compact footprint that simplifies panel layouts and reduces wiring complexity. Plan for a six- to ten-inch clearance around heat dissipation paths, ensure supply voltage matches the 11 kW rating, and use the same control wiring practices as ABB drives portfolio. This yields faster commissioning, fewer misconnections, and easier maintenance.
With 11 kW rated power and 48 A current, the ACS180 delivers reliable torque and smooth speed control across variable loads. Its ramping and protection features minimize mechanical stress and electrical transients, improving pump efficiency and fan belt life. In HVAC and process lines, you’ll see improved process stability, reduced energy consumption, and easier tuning thanks to a consistent ABB interface.
Yes, the ACS180 is designed for industrial drives including conveyors and winders. Its compact form factor and robust construction support installation in harsh environments, while built‑in protection features guard against overloads and faults. The shared architecture with ABB’s other drives simplifies multi‑machine installations and ensures consistent control strategies across your assembly or material handling lines.
ACS180 aligns with common regulatory expectations for machine drives. When specifying for European operations, CE electrical safety and EMC compliance are typically required, while SIL-ready configurations and IP‑rating options address functional safety and environmental protection needs. Always verify local electrical codes and the final assembly environment to ensure full compliance and safe operation.
Projected ROI comes from energy savings, reduced motor wear, and lower maintenance frequency due to soft-start and accurate speed control. A unified ABB drive family also lowers spare parts inventory and training costs, while the familiar interface shortens commissioning time. Over a typical lifecycle, this translates into lower total cost of ownership and accelerated project payback.
